Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a non-fungible token (NFT) control system that provides for discovery of NFT extras through linking and expanded NFT data structures. Additional aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a creating content item, such as a social media post, that includes tags defined based on at least one non-fungible token (NFT) included in the content item. Further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a non-fungible token (NFT)-based authorization system that uses verifiable NFT ownership as a basis for granting access to restricted resources.
